Originally published in 1984. This book charts important changes
brought about by teachers in the way literature is read and written
about in schools. Rooted in experiences of inner-city schools, it
is extremely practical and especially valuable for the multi-ethnic
classroom. The writers, all of whom are experienced teachers of
English, believe, however, that all schools need to respond to the
cultural, racial and linguistic diversity of British society,
whether their own populations are homogeneous or mixed. By
concentrating on real classrooms, real lessons and real children,
the book shows how particular ideas can be put into practice. It
approaches theories of reading and of literature through specific
examples of lively and successful practice and argues the ease for
the centrality of literature and literacy to the curriculum. The
book includes lists of resources: books to read with children and
books for teachers to read for themselves to deepen their
understanding of the ideas and their confidence in adapting them
for their own classrooms. Throughout the book continuities are
emphasized: between life and literature, between reading and
writing, and between learning to read, becoming better at it, and
studying literature.
